While it's not the same doctor at the center of last week's allegations, the circumstances -- as far as we can tell -- are fairly similar.

Phoenix police say Dr. Galen Johnson, a 54-year-old OB-GYN at the Estrella Women's Health Center, was arrested today stemming from an incident in May when police say he assaulted and sexually abused a 28-year-old patient.

According to police, on the afternoon of May 18, the victimreported that Johnson physically assaulted and sexually abusedher.

Phoenix police Sergeant Trent Crump tells New Times that policearen't releasing many details at about the assault at the momentbut says "this is not a case of he-said, she-said -- we're verycomfortable with the charges."

Crump was sure to give us the legal definition of assault when we askedif the incident was violent, and from the sound of it, Johnson didn'tviolently attack the victim but touched her inappropriately, which isassault under the law.

Johnson's been charged with one count of sexual abuse and one count ofassault. After his arrest this afternoon, he was taken to a MaricopaCounty jail.

County Superior Court spokesman Vincent Funari says he'll havethe police report for us in the morning, so check back to Valley Fever tomorrow to get the rest of the details.
